So, my best friend and roommate got her mission call last night and she's heading to this lovely paradise...

San Diego, CA Mormon battalion site :) and she gets to wear this half the time:

and she'll be that sassy as well! hahaha

I'm so proud of Britt and her choice to serve. She'll seriously make the best missionary ever! Who would've thought 7 years ago that we would both be serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints?! I'm so excited for her! She's gonna rock it!

We've been through a lot together and I'm so excited for our next adventures! love you britt!!! :) GOOD LUCK IN CA!!!

Wow, I've been blogging a lot lately... sorry. Anyway, this week has been one of those hectic weeks where I have felt I've had no time. This quote always came to mind when I felt like I hadn't gotten everything done I needed to that day. It really helped put things in perspective because nobody is perfect and not everything is always going to go according to plan.

There is hope. If it doesn't work today, have the courage to try again tomorrow.

....I think I have a bad day, then I see this and realize my life is good. However, funny story, today I was eating at the creamery with my mom and niece and I ordered a hamburger. I went and got a Mayo packet and tore open the side of it. As I was about to sit down I started squeezing the packet to get the Mayo to come out and Lo and Behold----It sprayed EVERYWHERE including my mom's face, and three unlucky innocent customers sitting right behind her. I felt horrible (but it was hysterical!) Luckily, they were good sports about it. I'm glad it happened today because it gave me something to laugh about! And then I see this picture and it makes me laugh even more!

P.S. I was reading in my scriptures this morning about tender mercies. As I tried to notice all the tender mercies today (too many to even count I might add) I know for a fact He was aware of me today and knew I needed a funny moment to lighten my spirits. Thank you flying mayo for changing my mood

So in one of my classes we watched this video.. most people had seen it, but I never have! And I love it! So I'm sharing it with all of you if you haven't seen it. This little boy is my hero. "Believe in Yourself!" wise words, little buddy, wise words.

Dr. Seuss

"Only you can control your future."

It all works out!

"It isn't as bad as you sometimes think it is. It all works out. Don't worry. I say that to myself every morning. It all works out in the end. Put your trust in God, and move forward with faith and confidence in the future. The Lord will not forsake us. He will not forsake us. If we will put our trust in Him, if we will pray to Him, if we will live worthy of His blessings, He will hear our prayers." -President Gordon B. Hinckley

William James

“The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives.”
